Coolest Mad Scientist

"No one knows what the future holds. That's why its potential is infinite."

By the will of Steins;Gate! The evil genius, HOUOUIN KYOUMA AKA 001, has expertly infiltrated the Strange Alternative Leaders Tournament, in the name of the Future Gadget Lab!.. That’s how OKABE RINTAROU would love to be introduced, at least! Having spent ages travelling across various World Lines via his Reading Steiner, Okarin has landed square in the middle of S.A.L.T., and this mad scientist is ready to bring the full power of time travel itself against his opponents. He’s so cool, sonuvabitch!
